Fletcher and Harveys

Howdy peoples

Mum and dad have arrived home from NZ after Pop dying… sad but in good spirits knowing he lived a good life and is now at peace with Nana (both Nanas i believe having many cups of tea and coffee)

I have already booked mum into some appts with Fletcher and in fact she visited her boys and I on the day after he return and she babysat so I could go and get Harvey’s baptism gown from Sarah a friend I hadnt seen in a very long time…. ( I am yet to try the gown on I am hoping that chubba bubba fits into it) It was so nice to catch up and ‘get out’ but im thinking i need to gain some more energy from somewhere!! WHERE??

We had a bit of a clean out on saturday (nana came to help again) and made room for david’s motor bike!! HMM he hasnt got it yet.. but he’s very much working on it! I didnt realise why we were cleaning out the garage (mum did) and i couldnt believe that it took a motorbike for us to get rid of junk…. now david has rearranged the left over junk, put things in boxes… now how the heck am i going to find anything>?? DAVID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but nah maybe next year we will have another clean out!!

Fletcher goes for botox next week

Natalie and Tom arrive this weekend .. tom for a weekend visit and Natalie for a week!! AND THEN I GET TO GO BACK To melbourne with NAtalie!! And my mummy is letting me have the weekend off from fletcher and she is going to look after him whilst i go on a wee break with harvey,., will be nice to have the break but oh my i can think of 101 things i should be doing rather than shopping in melbourne! But oh dear someone has to do it!!

We think we may have found someone to help fund fletcher’s bike,. but we are still working on it! Will let you know details.. but if you like you can still check out their webpage and go to ‘donate’ then ‘wishlist’ http://www.tccp.com.au/Home and fletcher’s trike is bottom of page 2 or 3 I think!! we want to try and get it for him b4 christmas but it’s not looking very likely… if you know of anyone who has a spare $950 they get a photo and advertising.. but as I say we may know of someone, i just have to get going with a letter,.. so thats what i shall do after this post!!

Not sure what else to write. will let you know how Harvey’s baptism goes next Sunday! Talking of Baptism little Abby was baptised today (ang and andrew’s bubby) and it was a beautiful ceremony ! Congratulations to Abby!!

Shall leave it at that for now, my bedtime is approaching and want to make a start on that letter, plus fill in respite forms plus our daycare registration forms for abc..

love to all and hope you are all well

Love Kristinaxx

Pop passed away peacefully in his sleep in New Zealand with his kiddies on Monday after not being well for a couple of weeks…. he will be VERY MUCH MISSED!! Love ya Pop!!

 After Glow

I’d like the memory of me
To be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an after glow
Of smiles when life is done.
I’d like to leave an echo
Whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
And bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve,
To dry before the sun
Of happy memories
That I leave when life is done.

As our lives are affected by CP everyday and indeed Fletcher’s please take the time to see the link below and take this time to reflect on how lucky we are, that we can walk and talk without any problems. And that when we complain we really dont have anyting to complain about at all…

The facts are interesing and let’s hope that one day there ‘is a cure’!!

Love to my little man, but especially also this week to all those in the world that suffer from CP and to those who will be born with it.

Again I thank “TEAM FLETCHER”  inMelbourne for their efforts of walking in the CPEC marathon. FOr those that can donate and sponsor Barbara, Natalie (sissy) or Cara please go to…  http://www.everydayhero.com.au/team_fletcher the money raised goes to helping children just like FLetcher…

Someone is 3 today and loving it!! Yep, our little man!!
So much has happened over 3 years and today we can enjoy the little man who has brought us so much joy! Hope we can add some birthday photos soon! Thats daddy’s job!
Hope you are all well too!
Happy Birthday Fletcher

we all love you very much!

Our little chubba bubba is already 4kilos!! WOWSIES!! And he is already 3 weeks old!!!

Life is hectic let me assure you!! With Fletcher run down with a cold, sleep is something we are seeing little of!! And for two people that are always in bed by 10pm at the latest it is a huge shock to the system!!

Harvey is a good sleeper and eater…. and night times for him is a breeze… for a newborn anyway.

Daddy is getting grumpier and grumpier with every night of less sleep! But he’s doing a good job of the ‘fun bus’ and entertaining both bubbies very well!

Still doin our day to day stuff. Waiting for the bike, and waiting for Fletcher to turn 3! Can you believe he is almost 3!! Definitely a time to count our blessings.

LOve to all, and we are doing well in the Garrett household!!
